Atlanta, Georgia, August 18, 2025 – For the third consecutive year, Georgia Banking Company (GBC) has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2025 honor by The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

In the face of our first-ever merger, our team not only ensured a smooth transition but also created a welcoming environment for our newest colleagues. We are deeply grateful for their resilience and unity during this pivotal time”. - J. Craig Addison, Chief Human Resources Officer.
